Korver's probably the best comp to him, and his best season was at age 33.

And tall shooters tend to last even longer. Nowitzki and Bird were All-Stars at age 35. Sam Perkins was good at age 35 and played until he was 39.
It'll be interesting to see if Bertans ever decides to bulk up and become more of a true PF rather than a SF/PF hybrid. It's an option that's always on the table since he is a legit 6-10. It could certainly extend his career like how Rudy Gay and Robert Horry extended theirs. He'd probably have to give up his vegetarian diet though.
It's not necessary now, but when he gets to be 31 or 32, he might need to do it.

He's nowhere near game shape...this is pathetic.

No reputable organization would be okay with this. But in Wiz-land, it’s just par for the course.
“Oh, you were completely unprofessional and got fat WHILE WE GAVE YOU A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT?”
“It’s okay, buddy. We’ll just put you on a minutes rotation so we don’t make you work too hard.”
GTFOH. This doesn’t fly in San Antonio. Pop would have cut him himself.

Jokes aside, I like the fact that Davis is still aggressive, and I expect the jumper start falling soon.
